I am 15 years old and would love to join the pararescure. I wear glasses though. Would I need to buy goggles or contacts? And what do I need to do to get into that training camp?
@Unforgivn13 Depending on your eyesight, you may get disqualified. Happened to me when I tried to do CCT. Best thing in that case, get a quick job, sign for 4 years, get LASEK/PRK and then cross-train at a 2 year mark.
@laxaholic77 Go on facebook and join the group SOF Selection Prep (Army, Navy, USAF, USMC)..... we have Active duty PJ's as well as former SEALs and SOWT guys..... If you want a place where people are as dedicated as you are join up.
hey looking for any advice. i am determined to be nothing but a pj and im only in high school so i have plenty of time to prepare. i can hold my breath for awhile i just wanna know if there is any thing i can do to train for water confidence. i work daily on upper body and run occaisionally but plan to train for a marathon to increase endurance. any of this useful? anything else i can do?
@laxaholic77 YOu need to do more research before you sign up for this... I was in the Air Force and deployed PJ's... Most never come home nor make it too the ground alive/unwound-ed.
@laxaholic77 1acadan is exactly right. I'm currently in training for PJ's, and swimming is the most difficult part of the training. We spend hours in the water. Do practice underwater swims, for these are the ones that most people have trouble with. If you really want to make it, go for the Ironman challenge. It is the same routine on the PAST test, only the times are much shorter and reps much higher, but it will make things much easier for you.
@laxaholic77 My biggest advice of all is to trust in the Lord. I honestly don't care if you're an atheist. I could have not have been what i am right now without God, I should have been dead years ago, but I am still alive now, and i will use my life to the fullest to thank the Lord.
@laxaholic77 I'm currently training myself to eventually become a SEAL. Getting a physical next week. All I can say is swim swim swim. The best way to build confidence in the water is to be in the water as much as you can.
@laxaholic77 Carry all your textbooks around in your backpack all day all year long. I tend to notice that in surviving the cut, they walk, run, and or travel around with back packs that weigh a lot.
@laxaholic77 Honestly, you're probably already prepared for training. The weeks of hell with PJs will you push you past your limit no matter how strong you are and prepare you up to this day. It's a challenge that's 90% mental. If you put your heart into it, you'll finish. As long as you have a strong mind that keeps telling you to push it.
@laxaholic77 Just prepare to be tired, and to follow orders despite it all. The training you do will be physically demanding, but mostly it will drain your mental stamina to the point where you'll want nothing more than to quit. You'll train in combat, retrieval, and medical skills, and only about ten percent who stick it through the two-year training graduate.
@laxaholic77 Push your self physically. Swim a lot and gain confidence in the water. But training is 10% physical 80%mental. But your also going to be spending a lot of time in the class room.
@laxaholic77 You need to do your upper body workouts/running for 10 days straight, then rest for 3 days. In that 3 day rest period, you can only do runs if you're not burnt out, but I'd suggest a full 3 day rest at first. Then continue with your normal workout routine for 1 week. Then go back to the calisthenics for 10 days again. Then cycle back to your regular routine. After this you need to attempt going through the daily torture of the calisthenics/running for 2 weeks, etc...
@laxaholic77 go to sealswcc.com. it's the navy seals website. click training. under training there's a naval special operations fitness guide that gives you a 6 month training regiment to go from average to ready for special forces training. if you have more than six months, it gives you instructions on how to keep building. if you're in good enough shape for bud/s you should be in good enough shape for pj indoc
@laxaholic77 Yes marathons do help but remember that swimming is key so look up on the main stoke they use. I am doing training right now and im only in high school too but i mainly do swimming with breast stroke, side stroke, and normal natural swimming stroke.
@laxaholic77 Run with weighted vests, push ups, sit ups crunches, pull ups, swimming, running, running. Did I mention running. Basically PT, everyday. Get used to being exhausted when you do so.
@goofoffproductions rucking is definatley not a good way to train for it. All it will do is help you hurt your joints and ankles before you go to indoc...
@laxaholic77 as you say you work on upperbody everyday..i would recommend to work alot more on your legs..work your legs and your body will follow..obv dont cut out the upper body.
You need to go to your recruiter and talk to them. Also go on the SOCNET forums and talk to active and former PJs. Normal military men can hold their breath for a while and run MORE THAN every now and then. Don't waste anyone's time. If you're serious then you're going to need to do a lot more than that to be prepared.
@laxaholic77 swim team bro, look into it now the season starts soon. ive done its since i was 9 and its not that hard after a while. im also a lifeguard. swim team will help me alot.
@laxaholic77 i woud do what i am doing for sports do cross contry and track becasue it will help you with running swimming becasue it wil help you with activitys in the water the martial art krav maga because it will teach you to work under pressure and the calistetics are the same and boxing because it will get you into amazing shape
i have watched all these shows and this one and swcc seem to have the most people DOR this is some hard ass training i mean all of them are hard but this one and swcc have more people DOR then any other of them respect to all the men that try even if they fail it takes alot of guts to even try and everybody on here that says they can do this u prob couldent ever pass the PT test to start training so shut up eat a hot pocket and play some more COD
Hey can anyone tell me if I went to medical school as an Emergency medical physician and became a PJ, would I get higher salary and would it help me with this job?
@SuperGuthr Unless he went in as a commissioned officer or warrant do to higher education. Not sure how you Airforce guys role with that stuff but that's how it is for the Army.
@SuperGuthr yea you would....having a college degree will allow you to become an officer faster, which the officer makes a shit load of money per year. also they look at previous training you have endured since you been enlisted which allows you to rank faster
@ghostdragon234 well... pararescuemen are all enlisted. so technically it wouldnt matter if you had previous training... Combat rescue officers are the officer equivalent to pararescuemen. Their role is slightly different... usually the coordinator of the missions etc...
@DrDanjot11 Piece of advice brotha, if your going to join any of the armed forces put your dream of making a butt load of money out the window. I'm Army ROTC working towards a Computer Science degree...if I wasn't going for a commission I would be making 3 times as much money straight out of college. It's about passion and love for your country and if you have the heart to be a real solider.
I don't care what a person does in the military. It does not matter if they are SEALS or a desk jockey, they are all men who give time of there lives to serve our country.
@AirForcePajamas Officers go through a intense pre-indoc course. Then one or two are chosen to be a team commander during indoc. Officers do go through the same indoc as enlisted. ive been through it so i know.
@SuperGuthr not to mention they treat the officers worse and single them out more because they are the team leaders... but i love it when the crusty old major finishes his swim and run before the rest of the guys lol
They save people that's all that matters ..but they are not trained the way seals and delta and ar's are trained ...look it up 20 rangers 5 deals and 10 marine recon went to pararescue ALL PASSED
@iPhonestunna Delta? you do realize that delta is what all the best of the best of the best of SF go to right? and even at that no one but delta members know anything real about that unit. So you cant say delta, and pararescue are trained just as hard as the rest, and unless the men from the other units had insanely intensive combat medical training, none of them passed. Please give me the name of the video you saw this in.
My son is a PJ and I am proud of him. I have so much respect for what he does and he truly lives by the motto, "So others may live". Thank you son and for the all the others who are willing to lay their lives on the line, so "we may live".
Theres a 92% attrition rate because the type of people they send are sub-par soldiers. I'm not saying that the ones who do pass and become full Pararescuemen aren't a viable asset to special operations. But, I can just see from the video that the trainees they send are basically a bunch of noobs. That little "2am wake up call", is done in Marine Boot Camp, often... Also the intensity of the indoc course is just not as vicious as the Army Rangers, Recon Marines, or Navy's SWCC.
@TomGuan69 i'll imagine you didn't say that. this is a video for the average citizen to watch, truth be told it barely illustrates what they actually endure. As with all spec ops programs, they are all intense and unless you've been through them all you cant compare how intense they are from national geographic "surviving the cut". God bless those guys.
@TomGuan69 it's hilarious how u have no clue what u r talking about pararescue and navy seals are the 2 hardest spec ops to get into you sir are an idiot
@luvs2spooge00 You wanna know how I came to that conclusion? Well lets see....after I finish doing my ASVAB back in January, an Airforce recruiter called me. Oh and guess what, he guaranteed me a shot at Pararescue indoc. So in less than 5min of conversation, the recruiter already gives me a incentive to join by letting try this very indoc right after boot camp. I just wonder how many other people they let try this indoc just to get washed out and thrown into crap jobs they never wanted to do.
@TomGuan69 Did it occur to you that the recruiter might have just been saying that so you'll be more likely to join? Recruiters exaggerate things to make potential people more likely to join. I'm not in the Airforce so I personally don't know how hard Pararescue training is but several of my friends are and some of them attempted this and not all of them made it. They were all pretty tough guys and calling them sub-par soldiers is very insulting.
@TomGuan69 I was in indoc earlier this year, its no joke. The calisthenics aren't easy but they are doable. Now the water confidence training is no joke. Try doing 25m underwaters in sweat pants, shoes, a sweat shirt, and a flooded mask. At a 1:30 minutes interval. Its not easy watching the cadre pull your buddies out of the water because they pushed themselves to the limit. Let me know how you do on the underwaters btw.
@the4biddenpker I never said the indoc was easy or a piece of cake. I said that the people they send are not the greatest. They are the "Join the Airforce and you can become a PARARESCUE!". I've been talked to by the AF Recruiters, they guaranteed me this very same indoc right after boot camp. Seeing as the AF boot camp is no way near as physical as the other branches, I can safely guess the typical trainee they send aren't that good. However the ones who do pass are the great soldiers.
@taylorgangorshit you usually have to have a main occupation like engineer, or something and you enter into the pj course and if you complete whats being shown in this video, you get to enter the 2 years of training to become a PJ, if not they are returned to there parent units and are engineers
@taylorgangorshit to piggy back on what believethehyp3 said. if you come in intially pararescue and fail out the course they retrain you into a job they need people. which btw is SECURITY FORCES.
My first choice was originally the Air Force. I walked into the their recruiting office, and talked to them. Then I walked across the hall and joined the Army. I respect the Air Force, they were originally part of the Army as the Air Corps. The Air Corps suffered more casualties than all of the ground forces in the European Theater of WWII; all of those downed P51s, B17s, and B24s. Each B17 had a crew of 10.
Anything to do with the Air Force is easy. Don't try to prove me wrong, because you'll look like an idiot. Why? Because you can't prove an opinion wrong
@doomlordist1 but the difficulty of "something" is subjective. so something that is easy for you could be hard for me. So are we both right? Or are we both wrong.
@doomlordist1 its obvious your an idiot then. with a washout rate of close to 92% theres a reason why there on SURVIVING THE CUT! it's not fucking easy and has a higher washout rate then marine recon, navy seals, rangers and berets. Just saying. You can think whatever you want about majority of the airforce but PJ's are among the elite for a reason. For future knowledge dont talk shit if you dont know. Cause you sound like an idiot.
@LaurenRae268 This show is about special operations. Women arnt allowed in special operations. The toughest training a women can do in the military is a rescue swimmer. That has a drop out rate of 50%
WATCH THIS i couldn't beleive the trainging they had to go through! Surviving the Cut - Special Forces Diver - Part 1 and the other one is Surviving the Cut - US Marine Recon - Part 1
WATCH THIS i couldn't beleive the trainging they had to go through! Surviving the Cut - Special Forces Diver - Part 1 and the other one is Surviving the Cut - US Marine Recon - Part 1
@killerclown789 I could beat someone to the inch of their life and that'd be considered brutal. That doesn't mean they're trained better. They may be tough as hell, but our S.E.A.Ls, U.S. Army SF, 1st SFOD-D, and the British SAS, all have better training.
@Wolfshadow011 I think the point he was trying to make was that Spetsnaz have a much more keen skill set when it comes to raw survival. You have to grant that none of our Western SF get dropped into Siberia with little more than the clothes on their back and a survival knife and expected to make it out alone.
@fmcc0904 Well yes, i'll give them that, they are tough in the cold if you compared them in the blistering cold they'd have the advantage, but that's their only skill in my opinion.
@Wolfshadow011 Well, it's not just the cold. The sort of instinct you develop in that situation is an unmistakable edge that few of our troops have. Israeli forces get similar conditioning, but in a desert environment (obviously).
I've seen videos of battles before, and these guys are like the angels of the battlefield. Thumbs up for PJ's.

@AirForcePajamas Officers go through a intense pre-indoc course. Then one or two are chosen to be a team commander during indoc. Officers do go through the same indoc as enlisted. ive been through it so i know.

@iPhonestunna I'd bet that if you took 20 PJs and put them through any other special forces training they would all pass too.
zopoid 5 months ago
@iPhonestunna Delta? you do realize that delta is what all the best of the best of the best of SF go to right? and even at that no one but delta members know anything real about that unit. So you cant say delta, and pararescue are trained just as hard as the rest, and unless the men from the other units had insanely intensive combat medical training, none of them passed. Please give me the name of the video you saw this in.

Theres a 92% attrition rate because the type of people they send are sub-par soldiers. I'm not saying that the ones who do pass and become full Pararescuemen aren't a viable asset to special operations. But, I can just see from the video that the trainees they send are basically a bunch of noobs. That little "2am wake up call", is done in Marine Boot Camp, often... Also the intensity of the indoc course is just not as vicious as the Army Rangers, Recon Marines, or Navy's SWCC.
TomGuan69 6 months ago
@TomGuan69 i'll imagine you didn't say that. this is a video for the average citizen to watch, truth be told it barely illustrates what they actually endure. As with all spec ops programs, they are all intense and unless you've been through them all you cant compare how intense they are from national geographic "surviving the cut". God bless those guys.

luvs2spooge00 6 months ago
@luvs2spooge00 You wanna know how I came to that conclusion? Well lets see....after I finish doing my ASVAB back in January, an Airforce recruiter called me. Oh and guess what, he guaranteed me a shot at Pararescue indoc. So in less than 5min of conversation, the recruiter already gives me a incentive to join by letting try this very indoc right after boot camp. I just wonder how many other people they let try this indoc just to get washed out and thrown into crap jobs they never wanted to do.
TomGuan69 5 months ago
@TomGuan69 Did it occur to you that the recruiter might have just been saying that so you'll be more likely to join? Recruiters exaggerate things to make potential people more likely to join. I'm not in the Airforce so I personally don't know how hard Pararescue training is but several of my friends are and some of them attempted this and not all of them made it. They were all pretty tough guys and calling them sub-par soldiers is very insulting.
JebusLee 5 months ago
@TomGuan69 I was in indoc earlier this year, its no joke. The calisthenics aren't easy but they are doable. Now the water confidence training is no joke. Try doing 25m underwaters in sweat pants, shoes, a sweat shirt, and a flooded mask. At a 1:30 minutes interval. Its not easy watching the cadre pull your buddies out of the water because they pushed themselves to the limit. Let me know how you do on the underwaters btw.
the4biddenpker 6 months ago
@the4biddenpker I never said the indoc was easy or a piece of cake. I said that the people they send are not the greatest. They are the "Join the Airforce and you can become a PARARESCUE!". I've been talked to by the AF Recruiters, they guaranteed me this very same indoc right after boot camp. Seeing as the AF boot camp is no way near as physical as the other branches, I can safely guess the typical trainee they send aren't that good. However the ones who do pass are the great soldiers.

@taylorgangorshit you usually have to have a main occupation like engineer, or something and you enter into the pj course and if you complete whats being shown in this video, you get to enter the 2 years of training to become a PJ, if not they are returned to there parent units and are engineers

@taylorgangorshit to piggy back on what believethehyp3 said. if you come in intially pararescue and fail out the course they retrain you into a job they need people. which btw is SECURITY FORCES.

My first choice was originally the Air Force. I walked into the their recruiting office, and talked to them. Then I walked across the hall and joined the Army. I respect the Air Force, they were originally part of the Army as the Air Corps. The Air Corps suffered more casualties than all of the ground forces in the European Theater of WWII; all of those downed P51s, B17s, and B24s. Each B17 had a crew of 10.

@doomlordist1 its obvious your an idiot then. with a washout rate of close to 92% theres a reason why there on SURVIVING THE CUT! it's not fucking easy and has a higher washout rate then marine recon, navy seals, rangers and berets. Just saying. You can think whatever you want about majority of the airforce but PJ's are among the elite for a reason. For future knowledge dont talk shit if you dont know. Cause you sound like an idiot.

@killerclown789 I could beat someone to the inch of their life and that'd be considered brutal. That doesn't mean they're trained better. They may be tough as hell, but our S.E.A.Ls, U.S. Army SF, 1st SFOD-D, and the British SAS, all have better training.
Wolfshadow011 7 months ago
@Wolfshadow011 I think the point he was trying to make was that Spetsnaz have a much more keen skill set when it comes to raw survival. You have to grant that none of our Western SF get dropped into Siberia with little more than the clothes on their back and a survival knife and expected to make it out alone.
